The Ugly Duckling

The Ugly Duckling 2.0

July 25, 2024 By Lisa Grigsby

After closing down their Springfield Street location this past February, this morning at 7am Mason Schindler, Dexter Clay, also known as “Uncle Boof,” who owns Uncle Boof’s World Famous Pancake Mix and Zach Jeckering, opened the doors to their new restaurant on East Fifth Street in St. Anne’s Hill.  With almost no  fanfare, the eatery was packed when I visited this afternoon.

The new place will be open later and serve 6 days a week!   The art on the walls is eclectic and colorful and each table also had a small dice/tee game on it to play while you are waiting on your food.

I had the Eggs N’ Stuff breakfast and added the sausage gravy to my tots and I left there stuffed! It was a lot of food for $10. Can’t wait to go back and try some of Uncle Boof’s World Famous Pancakes! They even have gluten-free waffles.

If you go visit, tell them Dayton Dining sent you.

The owners said they’ll be open Friday – Sunday for now and have plans to expand the hours later in October.
